LEGAL NOTICE - HYSBUSEB CYFREITHIOL
Put in the public domain, on the condition
that this !Help file remains intact inside

Rhoddwyd hwn yn yr arglwyddiaeth gyhoeddus,
ar yr amod bod y ffeil !Help hwn yn aros
yn gyflawn tu fewn i'r cyfarwyddiadur cais.
******************************************
Another startlingly trivial application
from moi, yer uncle Roly. It will install
itself on the icon bar and sit there
looking pretty (-useless) until you drag a
file or directory onto it. If you have a
window open with the input focus; you will
see said file or directory's pathname
appear - as if by magick!
None of this esoteric 'Message_CharacterIs'
cleverness, it uses 'Wimp_ProcessKey'.
(Buffer-stuffer is a misnomer descended
from my using the KBD buffer).
* * * * * * * * * * * * *
Try using it to make- up 'Desktop -file...'
application starter scripts.
* * * * * * * * * * * * *
This beast does its stuffing on null
reason codes to avoid problems of missed
characters; inviting, in the process, the
possibility that some task may grab the
input focus during the stuffing process.
Inspired by, and partially ripped off from
Andrew Young's '!GO'; and, I would imagine,
thenceforth and likewise...
Ta, butty-bach!
Commercial break: !PtrCopy's pretty clever.
